Hmmm. I'm not sure why Gareth Thomas would think this. I was involved in B7 fandom well before it ever aired here in the US and when it *did* air, I was heavily involved in the fandom. I had people in two different parts of the country taping the series for me since it never did show locally here in Orlando. I never heard of an instance where the first episode wasn't shown. Has anyone else ever heard of this happening? I certainly got tapes from both sources starting with the first episode.
